2016 Mark Haisma Clos les Arvelets Pommard Premier Cru [Future Arrival]

Pro Reviews

Wine Advocate (WA)

The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Arvelets was completely destemmed. It has quite an opulent bouquet for a Pommard, with ripe dark cherry and blackberry fruit, perhaps more Volnay in style than Pommard (maybe some stem addition would have helped?). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, plenty of small black cherries laced with white pepper and a touch of graphite on the finish. It will require three of four years to settle down. Mark told me that he does not want to hear from customers who open this before 2020. – Neal Martin – 29-12-2017
